On the Eagles’ final play from scrimmage on Sunday night, quarterback Mike Vick rolled left and appeared to pull up a bit before hitting the deck.

After the game, Vick addressed whether he suffered an injury.

“Something happened with my knee on the last drive,” Vick told reporters after the game. “I’m all right though. I’ll be ready for next week. Hopefully.”

For a guy who has been hit more times this year than a Whack-A-Mole game at an anger management clinic, it would be ironic to say the least if Vick ultimately suffered an injury without being touched.

As the Eagles prepare to face the Steelers in Pittsburgh, it makes plenty of sense to pay attention to this one.
